Bucket shop" Speculation.

there are ten of these blackboard concerns

Every prominent hotel, almost, rents
first floor room for this purpose, and the

prietors have long been playing on their pa

PAINTING TREASURY NOTES.

Why the United States Treasury Officials
Object-A Late Decision.
The pastime of painting United States
treasury notes has lately received a setback
a pointed hint has gone out from the treas
ur.y department that if persons of artistic
taste want to test their skill in this line they
must not exhibit their work in public. This
Is the meaning of a decision by Solicitor Nc
Cue the full effect of which was not made
plain in the brief abstract given out The
decision was based ON a New York case,
where a fac-simile of So note painted on
wood was exhibited in well known saloon.
a secret service agent suggested that the
painting was too suggestive of counterfeit
ing to be kept open to the public gaze and
should be removed. Chief Brooks took
Substantially the same view.
The owner of the picture and the artist
who painted it made affidavits that no VIC
lation of the law was intended. The solicit
tor of the treasury accepted this as a state
ment of the facts, but declared he could not
sanction any encroachment upon the statute
made for the protection of United States
securities. Sec. ., 430, among other things,
provides that every person who prints
photographs, in any other manner makes
OF executes or causes to be printed, photo
graphed made or executed, or aids in print
ing, photographing, making or executing
any engraving, photograph, PRINT or impress
sion in the likeness of any such obligation or
security, or any part thereof, shall be pun
ished' - While under the circumstances
the solicitor would not advise prosecution,
he suggested quite plainly that the exercise
of a talent so capable of mischief should not
be encouraged. The artist and the owner
claimed the panel painting of the greenback
was worth $500. but Chief Brooks estimated
its value at SO OF $15. Some time ago
somewhat similar painting by. Washing
ton artist was put up at public auction, but
it was drawn at the suggestion of the secret
service officers The late decision of the
solicitor of the treasury is made for the
benefit of people who think there is no
harm in making public exhibitions of these
artistic representations of the currency.
Some very good counterfeit notes have been
painted and passed for money by profess
SIGNALS.
This is the reason why the secret service
thinks it necessary to check the efforts
of amateurs, since their work might be too
suggestive to those who have talent IN
that direction and might by such an exam
pie be led into the unlawful exercise of their
skill.-Chicago Tribune.
